So I am considering splurging on PlayStation VR/Gran Turismo bundle at Black Friday. The problem is, I'm having trouble finding info about PS VR. If anyone knows the answers to these questions, that'd be awesome!

What games are compatible with VR? Can I play Skyrim in VR if I already own it, for example, or do I have to buy a separate Skyrim VR game?

Is 300 USD a good price for this bundle?

@stanleyhudson12: Every game works in VR, but that doesn't mean you get the VR experience. Its like playing the same game on a 200" screen.

As for VR compatible games, they have a specific VR mode for that game, eg; GT: Sport

Don't know about Skyrim, not buying a 10 year-old game, they keep milking it.

VR is amazing, it turns bad games into meh games, meh games into good games, good games into great games, great games into exceptional games, and exceptional games into classics.

It's something you have to try, I'm almost 100% sure the people here who are trashing it have never touched VR, I'd suggest the new model since I haven't touched the old model and the new model works super well.

Why did you revive a thread that was about a Black Friday purchase?

All of the compatible games on the PSN store will say VR required or VR compatible. i would recommend the Until Dawn game and getting PSVR World if it doesn't come with the bundle you get already.

It has to be wired to a processing unit box to help provide fps boost . HDMI wire goes in ps4 and unit box. Another wire connects vr to the unit box and micro USB from the unit box to PS4.

HDMI from tv to unit box is optional if you want to display your vr on TV

The VR is low quality and pixelated. You should wear it like a crown and not a cap if you want to angle your eyes clearly at the vr

The only good vr is re7. Playing as cinema mode is good if you don't want to sit next to tv. Heavy text based games will be hard to read.

I have gone 5+ hours wearing it without any major pain but it tends to get uncomfortable after an hour or 2 and needs to be frequently adjusted.

You need to buy a serperate Skyrim version, which costs like 20 bucks more.
